The National University of Mongolia plans to set up a study center to introduce Indonesia to the Mongolian public, says the university’s vice president, Gerelt Od Lkhagvasuren.

He discussed the plan with Indonesian Ambassador to China and Mongolia Imron Cotan in Ulaanbaatar, on the sidelines of the seventh conference of the Community of Democracies on April 30.

The university has prepared the building, lecturers and other facilities for the study center, the Indonesian Embassy in Beijing said in a press statement on Friday.

Lkhagvasuren has asked for the ambassador’s support in the establishment of the study center.

Cotan said he was prepared to facilitate student-lecturer exchange programs between Indonesia and Mongolia as well as offer the latest reference books to the university.

The Indonesian Embassy and the National University of Mongolia plan to organize seminars on bilateral relations between Indonesia and Mongolia in June and September of this year.

In return, Mongolian university students will be offered scholarships to study in Indonesia under the Developing Countries’ Technical Cooperation program.
